Chapter 261: Beauty trap?



There was a knock on the door.

Roning, who was busy planning and forming a team based on the information collected by Jenny on paper, did not look up and only said "advance".

He thought it was Redar or Elrond and the others who came, but he didn't expect that a girl with gorgeous clothes and who looked like a noble lady came in with a fruit plate.

"Who are you?" Luo Ning put down the pen in his hand.

The girl bowed, opened her red lips, and said in a sweet voice: "My Lord Viscount, I am the daughter of the political officer of the Great Stone Territory. You can call me Betty."

As she spoke, she placed the fruit plate on the table, came to Luo Ning's side with a wisp of fragrance, and actually reached out her hand to massage Luo Ning's shoulders.

"My Lord Viscount, you have had a hard time on your journey. I came here specially to serve you."

Roning frowned slightly and picked up a book to cover the parchment.

Although the other party's movements were gentle and Luo Ning could still feel the softness touching his shoulder, and although he could vaguely feel the hot breath from the other party hitting the back of his ear, he still felt a little puzzled.

"Miss Betty."

Roning pushed the other person's hand away and looked directly into his eyes: "Did Corrin ask you to come here?"

Betty's eyes were obviously flustered. She didn't expect to be rejected. Didn't Lord Corrine say that the man in front of her was very fond of sex? Why did she take the initiative to approach him and even tease him, but he didn't seem to be happy at all? She quickly walked away and stood to the side of the table.

Betty felt the coldness in Ronin's tone. Although she was the daughter of a political official, she still lacked confidence in front of real nobles.

"The Baron said you were too tired, so let me give you a massage, and then help you wash up and take a nap."

"How to serve?"

Luo Ning's lips curled up slightly, "Does it include giving away your body?"

Suddenly, Betty blushed and lowered her head shyly: "Yes, yes, I am available anytime if you are willing."

Judging from the other party's previous performance, he was obviously a skilled veteran, but at this moment he looked like an inexperienced girl.

"Corrin is really considerate."

Luo Ning smiled and then shouted outside: "Tom, David, come in!"

Tom and David, who were waiting not far outside, ran over quickly and subconsciously glanced at Betty who was standing awkwardly beside them.

"My Lord, what do you want?"

"You have been following me for a while. Why didn't you inform me beforehand when an outsider came to see me? How are you on duty?"

On the one hand, Roning's blaming attitude was indeed criticizing the two of them, but on the other hand, it was also for Betty to see.

Faced with the lord's rebuke, Tom and David immediately panicked and quickly knelt on one knee, asking Roning for forgiveness and explaining the reasons.

It turned out that when they heard Betty say that it was arranged by Corian, they thought that Roning had already discussed it with the other party, so they did not stop her from coming in, but they did not expect that there was a misunderstanding.

"From now on, even if a fly wants to come in, it has to report to me first. I will let it in after I give it permission!"

"Yes, sir!"

Tom and David were trembling with fear. They had indeed handled the matter wrongly and should have reported it at the time.

Luo Ning waved his hand, "Take her out!"

Seeing this scene, Betty didn't dare to stay here any longer and was about to leave in a panic.

"Take the fruit plate away!" Luo Ning added.

"Okay, okay..."

She quickly turned around, picked up the fruit plate and left quickly.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Roning frowned and analyzed the purpose of Corian's actions.

"Did he simply send me a woman because he thought I was lustful, or did he want to ruin my reputation?"

The war is about to begin. If Ronin gets caught up in a scandal like Selena because of a woman, his reputation will probably be as bad as Wiggins'.

With the previous experience, how could he repeat the same mistake? On the other hand, Corian was very surprised when he heard Betty's report.

"You should leave now."

Corian waved Betty away, still a little incredulous: "Betty's appearance is first-rate, but I didn't expect Roning to be able to hold back and not do it. Could it be that he has really changed?"

"It's possible. After all, he suffered at the hands of Count Orson's granddaughter, which is why he lost his inheritance rights."

Brissot lamented: "This way, the plan to discredit him has gone to waste."

"No problem."

Corrine sat down. "There's more than one way to ruin someone's reputation. If this war fails miserably, his reputation will probably be even worse than his father's!"

"If the noble coalition army is completely wiped out, as the commander, Luo Ning will probably be considered incompetent by all the nobles, right?"

These coalition forces, no matter how weak they are, are all assets of the nobles. They would feel more or less heartbroken if they lost any of them, and at that time, rumors would start to spread about Ronin.

Unfortunately, the necessary potions could not be gathered in Boulder City, especially an ingredient called "Blood Hemp Grass", which no one in the Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce had ever heard of.

It seems that it is impossible for Roning to have the explosive potion in a short period of time.

Roning did not attend the dinner at Stonehenge, but instead discussed with Redal, McKeon and others how to set up camp.

This was their first war, and there were many things they didn't have to do, but they could also use this as an opportunity to gain experience.

When Joffrey, Rognar and even Tom and others grow up and lead the team in the future, they will know how to deal with this matter.

Sometimes improvement is not just limited to strength, the ability to handle things is also important.

The commander's absence from the Corian dinner may seem ordinary, but different people have different understandings of it.

Those knights or nobles who belonged to other noble families naturally didn't care, but three people like Toru, Philip and Thorstein had to face it.

They already knew Luo Ning's attitude towards work. Before taking over Chishan Town, they needed to appropriately refuse banquets like this one, even if it would damage the inviter's face.

The next morning, Ronin summoned all the leaders including Toru, Corinne and others to hold a meeting in the fortress of Stone Castle.

Although there were nearly sixty people attending the meeting, only a few high-end fighters could actually make decisions, and the other responsible persons only had to execute.

"When marching to war, the first thing to do is to know your own situation."

Roning took out the things he had prepared yesterday and circulated them to Toru and others.

"I didn't move the team with a complete knight squad, but I needed to organize the other idle people into a team, assign a person in charge, and allocate relevant matters."

Toru took the parchment and carefully read the words on it. The more he read, the more shocked he was.

Luo Ning didn't attend the dinner yesterday just to do this?

He couldn't help but secretly glance at the young man beside him. This speed and way of handling things, is it really possible for someone who has never been on the battlefield to do it? "Sir Toru, what do you think?"

Luo Ning asked: "If you feel there is something wrong, you can propose it for revision."

"I think your series of arrangements are very reasonable!"

As he spoke, he handed the parchment to Marvin beside him. The two deputy commanders should read it first.

"Lord Lulans asked Marvin and me to come and assist you. Now it seems that you may not need us, and you can lead this war!"

After Marvin quickly glanced through it, his eyes were full of shock.

He was a rough man and could not do such delicate work, but this did not prevent him from admiring those who could do such delicate work.

"Toru is right, Ronin, I have no objection, let's do as you say!"

Perhaps he was not satisfied with what he said, so he added: "I feel that an outstanding military strategist is about to appear in our Wushan Territory!"

After these words fell, all those who had not seen the contents of the letter became curious. What was written on this piece of paper that made the two commanders admire and praise it so much? Corian was suspicious. Was it really that exaggerated?

Could it be that the Marquis had arranged this in advance in order to pave the way for Roning?

But thinking about Betty's report yesterday, Roning was indeed writing something on the table, but Betty didn't see the specific content.

"Viscount Marvin, can I take a look too?"

Marvin was stunned. He had forgotten to circulate the parchment and quickly handed it to Corian.

Corrine quickly took it and began to read.

You won’t know until you see it. It’s really shocking.

Written neatly on the parchment were Roning's team number, team leader, main members and the tasks each team was responsible for.

These tasks are not general, but detailed.

For example, some teams are responsible for reconnaissance, some are responsible for defense, some are responsible for analyzing intelligence, some are responsible for maintaining camp security, and so on.

In addition to combat troops, Roning also has a division of labor for logistics - craftsmen, cooks, grooms, and even cleaners have teams and persons in charge.

If the aristocratic coalition, which is like a pile of loose sand, were to be organized and formed according to Roning's rules, the effect would definitely be better than if they acted independently.

"this……"

Coreyon was shocked, but still wanted to find some faults.

"Commander, I think there's something inappropriate."

"oh?"

Faced with the doubts, Roning did not show any anger, but instead behaved in a friendly manner.

"Please let Baron Correan know what you think, and we can discuss it!" (End of this chapter)
